Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 3 }}}}}$

Explanation:

$\sf{ (x)/( - 4) = (3)/(4) }$

Do cross multiplication

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x * 4 = 3 * ( - 4)}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{4x = - 12}}$ ( Multiplying a positive integer and negative integer gives a negative integer )

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ (4x)/(4) = ( - 12)/(4) }}$

Calculate

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 3}}$

Hope I helped!
